Wheelchair Ramp Lifts

The primary purpose of wheelchair ramp lifts is to enable the transfer or transport of a wheelchair from the ground floor to another level of the house or the building. This is very important to lessen or completely eliminate the effort of assisting people with disabilities. Ramp lifts enable disabled individuals to function independently, specifically in terms of mobility, without any help. Widely used lifts include porch lifts, hybrid lifts, ceiling and overhead lifts, vertical platform lifts and power chair lifts.

These ramps are often built primarily for home use. Still, that should not prevent you from using these devices if you need to go outside or to work. They are easy to install and require almost no maintenance. Some of the most striking features of a typical wheelchair ramp are slip-resistance, constant pressure switches, low platform for easier mounting, rolled edges, along with safety barriers and railings.

Depending on your weight, you can go as high as 50 to 72 inches off the ground, though the maximum load capacity of a typical lift is about 500 pounds. Still, that is enough to lift both an electric scooter and a wheelchair at the same time. Once you get down and start rolling, enjoy a smooth and quiet ride thanks to the high-end gearbox and chain inside. These parts can be accessed easily in the rare occasion that something goes wrong with the lift.

After charging the wheelchair lift with 110 volts of AC current, you can enjoy its half horsepower to the hilt. Leave all your worries behind because the key lock on the control switch ensures that your lift operates at a low voltage system. There are many other features that depend on the model and brand, but all lifts come with at least a one year warranty period. With a wheelchair lift, you will literally go places!
